(Sorry, I just CANNOT get this NOS to send mail to any of the suggested
addresses, or to any of those in the MX entries... manually)

Glenn, on the modems (i.e. the ones on 33/23 cm and 3cm) did you even bother
with clock recovery per se (i.e. have an external circuit dig the clock out
of the signal) or did you simply use existing clock recovery circuits in the
HDLC software/TNC, or use a code with an implicit clock (like Manchester, etc.)?

We are hacking together a T1 modem (already bench tested, etc.) that goes
through the trouble of robust clock recovery, scrambling/descrambling,
integrate-and-dump data filters, etc. and were wondering how much overkill
that might be, in your experience...

If I can get email to you directly, I'd be happy to fill you in on more
of the details:-)

Thanks.

Rob i have a version of nos than can attach ifaces directly
to bpq code without using the packet driver and NODEDRV4.COM.
it was written for JNOS 1.08b but dont see why it cant work
with 1.10x9 also.

If you want ill send you the code bits. or upload them someplace
where you can get them. let me know if you are interested.

Paul,    mail bounces for  n5faz.ampr.org. 

     Does it talk to BPQ using it's hostmode? Why not ftp it somewhere? I'd
like to take a look at it.

Sounds like more than a few people would be interested in such code,
myself included.

Maybe this is something that can be included in future jnos releases ?

Subject: OS/2, PM NOS
To: tcp-grou@ucsd.edu

Does anyone know if NOS for OS/2 (PMNOS, or any other flavours out there)
is still being worked on, or has it been abandonded. PMNOS dies in OS/2
2.1; I'm wondering if the new OS/2 code broke anything. The zip files are
dated January 1993; not exactly ancient but getting there. 

The old OS2 NOS doesnt inspire much confidence; at least it starts running.

thanks
